Features: If you are interested in cartoon illustrations or cartoon films, this book series is sure to provide you with great help and inspiration. This is the "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary." The entire set consists of four volumes, each containing over 10,000 images. The content includes characters, animals, plants, vehicles, daily items, and more. The characters cover actions, expressions, professions, and everyday scenes. For example, among the characters, there are sad people, elderly people, kings, beggars, barbers, etc. Animals are further categorized by species, such as mammals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles, and amphibians. Additionally, they are divided into subcategories, such as fish, which include goldfish, sharks, koi, butterfly fish, clownfish, etc. Each image is depicted from different angles, showcasing vivid and unique personalities. For instance, dogs are illustrated in various ways, such as dominant dogs, impoverished dogs, fashionable dogs, spotted dogs, and long-haired dogs. Among these over 40,000 images, both anthropomorphic and realistic styles are used, with anthropomorphic styles being predominant. In anthropomorphic works, we retain the main characteristics of the subject while adding human-like actions, making them lively and adorable. Examples include dancing pens, crying umbrellas, and wrinkled pockets in the daily items category, as well as sad pears and angry pumpkins in the plants category. In realistic works, we first preserve their basic external features. Then, we master their own movement patterns. For example, some vehicles and daily items, as well as certain fish and birds in the illustrated dictionary, are depicted using this style.
The "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary" is beautifully printed, rich in content, and covers a wide variety of subjects. The images are drawn with concise lines, lifelike shapes, vivid expressions, exaggerated actions, and humorous charm. We hope the "Animation Design Illustrated Dictionary" will become a good friend in your work and studies.
